...openness has had a visible effect in Riga. Jobs are plentiful and wages are rising fast: for construction workers, they jumped 50% last year. Prosperity is evident in everything from new Swedish hyper-markets, where parking spots are hard to come by, to the Italian cars rolling around the city's cobblestone streets. "If you want to do something, you have a future here," says Eri Esta, the 33-year-old chairman of a major stevedoring firm at the port. Esta, who graduated from a local business school in 2005, now earns a comfortable salary, takes vacations in Western Europe...

In a fight where public perception is so vital the decisions made by young enlisted men don't just affect a particular patrol, or the opinions of Iraqis on a single street. The ripple effect can change the strategic picture of an entire region dramatically. "The complexity of what we're doing is so much greater," Gové said. The key choice is often when to "not act - which is the hardest thing for a Marine to do." One cultural lesson the Marines have learned is that what appears to American eyes...
